Karma Red Panda 2025 spec .30 cal pellet version. First five shots out of the box at 50 yards after zeroing the scope with AEA 45 grain pellets. About .382 MOA I believe. Pleased so far. Trigger needs a little work. Second stage breaks okay but first stage is a little mushy.

UPDATE - Finally able to get the trigger adjusted. I found that the adjusting screw on the safety was screwed pretty much all the way in, which didn't allow me to get a good second stage adjustment on the trigger. All resolved now - short, even first stage and a nice clean, crisp release on the second stage at about 10~11 ounces and the safety now works as it should. I'm finding that it shoots most pellets well that I have tried - AEA 45 and 50 grain as well as ZAN 48 and 56 grain. I think I'll keep the RP! Just ordered another Sightron SIII 10-50x60 PLR zoom for it - makes my third one. Love that scope! And it's rock solid with Vortex pro series extra high scope rings.

Message send to Karma from Europe :
Good evening, I'm getting back to you to find out where you are with your quality control and deliveries of Karma Red Panda in Europe because, to this day, many people are asking me if things have changed since my video on the quality of Red Panda sold by Krale from China. My answer is currently still the same: the Karma made in China sold in Europe is a disaster. Having had no news or response from your resellers, I still strongly advise against purchasing this brand. I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,

Mine is fine. It is a 2025 spec version. If you purchased before the 2025 spec was available you can upgrade your older version.

I'm talking about the Karma Red Panda 2025 edition. The first version wasn't sold in Europe because they immediately had their patent problem. The 2025 edition, manufactured in China and imported into Europe, is the victim of an obvious lack of seriousness in its manufacturing and assembly. Several of us ordered the 2025 model to receive it in June, and after trying to repair and readjust parts, many of us returned the rifle to the dealer for obvious reasons of malfunction, trigger tail problems, and an obvious lack of power despite adjustments to the plenum pressure and hammer spring tension. All with parts that become unadjusted as you shoot, or better yet, parts that fall out of the rifle because there are so many vibrations when the spring relaxes. Several of us have informed the Karma brand and its partners, but no one is doing anything. The Panda Marsh rifle currently being delivered to Europe is a disaster, even the supposedly exceptional barrel has internal traces of corrosion even though it is supposed to be new... I have made three videos that explain all the problems that start from the unpacking.

@Fodzy le Geek Why haven't you posted links to your videos presenting your evidence along with your rants?

Wow I don't own anything except a .22 cal as I only shoot paper. If I ever do get a BB I would seriously consider this RED .30 cal Just an amazing first 5. OldVet.

Thank you for the suggestion @manabeknives. I found this thread using your suggestion and there are four videos. I’m watching one now. @Fodzy le Geek is thorough. This is a nice presentation so far.
